Window Tint
I am looking at getting the windows tinted on my Accord. Do any of you have any recommendations for brands, places to get it done,etc in the greater Charlotte,NC area? Also is DigiTint a decent brand? I got my oil changed at Hendrick Honda today and they now install DigiTint window tint? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

3m, solar guard, or sun guard.
3 of the best brands out there. get it from a real window tint dealer adn it'll come w/ a lifetime warranty. dont go to a small shop down the street. they'll give u a lifetime warranty, but when u go there few months later, these shops usually shut down.

thats true, go to a shop that specializes in tints. Also, make sure you stay within the legal limit. Here in Ontario, Canada. most people get 25 - 30%. 35 is out max limit because anything over will get you a ticket.

$100 all windows or just the 3 rear windows. n ny state u can have anything u want in the back but nothing n front. make sure they do one (1) piece for the rear window. if they can't do one piece then go to another shop.

also make sure that shop has a good reputation. look at their other cars they've already done.
also look closely in those cars for "trash, dirt, and hairs" b/w the tinit adn the window. those are very small things at first but show up later on. once the tint dries for an hour or two in sun. u should be able to see it easily. Everything else shoudl be black except the trash in there. the color looks the same as a bubble in the tint.
that'll tell u how good of a job they do.
